Swim Club - Oxley Otters
The P&C Association operates the Oxley Swimming Club (Oxley Otters). The club, established in 1980, is a friendly community club for swimmers from 4 years old and up, open to all within the local community and surrounds.
Where
Oxley State School Swimming Pool
When
Every Friday night during Term 4 and Term 1. The pool opens at 6.00pm with events commencing at 6.30pm sharp.
What To Expect
Swimmers can choose races in each stroke in 15m, 25m and 50m, earning points for each event they swim in, and bonus points for beating their own personal best times. Swimmers may only compete in one distance per stroke each club night. Swimmers can be as young as age 4, teens and even some parents choosing to swim. Younger swimmers can have a parent or older club member assist them in the short races, swimming beside them in the lane. At the end of the season all swimmers receive a medal showing their point tally, and the points earners in various categories will win trophies.
The Club Championships are held at the end of Term 1. Swimmers may nominate to swim in as many strokes as they are eligible. The swimmer with the highest aggregate points in their age group over all four strokes will be named Club Age Champion.
Three way carnivals are held to allow swimmers the opportunity to compete as a team away from Club nights. The carnivals are held against other local clubs and are a good introduction to carnivals for new or younger swimmers.

Volunteers
Our Club Nights cannot go ahead without volunteers. Every event relies on parents and attending family members to step up to help, and without enough support, we risk having to cancel Club Nights.
Each week, a number of important roles must be filled including race starter, announcer, timekeepers, marshals, tuck shop servers, set-up, and pack-up. These roles are simple, well-supported, and easy to learn, with our friendly team always ready to guide you.
We strongly encourage every family to pitch in. Please select your volunteer role when you nominate each week. Your contribution is essential to keeping Club Nights running. Together, we can ensure these nights continue for everyone to enjoy.
